Before proceeding to orders of the day, I would like to remind members that the use of props in the House and committees to illustrate a point or promote positions is contrary to our rules and practices. In the chamber, members express their opinions through the words they use, not through the use of props. This is true whether they have the floor or not. At page 617 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, it states: Speakers have consistently ruled that visual displays or demonstrations of any kind used by Members to illustrate their remarks or emphasize their positions are out of order. Similarly, props of any kind have always been found to be unacceptable in the Chamber. This principle also applies to masks. Masks that members wear must not be used to deliver messages or express an opinion. They should be plain and neutral. I thank members for their co-operation.

I am not sure that was a point of order. I just want to take this opportunity to remind the hon. members that what is a prop is really perception by everyone who is watching. What I am asking all members, whether in the House or appearing virtually, is to make the background as neutral as possible. The hon. member for Bécancour—Nicolet—Saurel.
